Answer:

31.50 mm²

Explanation:

A trapezoid is a convex quadrilateral. A trapezoid has at least on pair of parallel sides. the parallel sides are called bases while the non parallel sides are called legs

Characteristics of a trapezoid

It has 4 vertices and edges

If both pairs of its opposite sides of a trapezoid are parallel, it becomes a parallelogram

Area of a trapezoid = 1/2 x (sum of the lengths of the parallel sides) x height

1/2 x ( 7.3 + 5.3) x 5 = 31.50 mm²
